When a Stoney Creek car becomes scrap
Most cars in Stoney Creek don't die suddenly. They wear down over thousands of trips along the QEW and up and down the escarpment, until one repair estimate is bigger than the car is worth. Rust is usually part of the story, since salt and slush do steady damage to floors, frames and brake lines.
At that point, the smart move is to sell the car for its metal and parts rather than sink more money into it. We'll tow it from a lower-town driveway near King Street, a garage in upper Stoney Creek or a field off Highway 20, and pay you before it leaves.
You don't need to get it running, fix the tires or clean it beyond taking out your own belongings. The car just needs to be somewhere our truck can reach.
Scrap car values in Stoney Creek
Most scrap cars in Stoney Creek fetch $300 to $2,000. Larger vehicles such as pickups, minivans and SUVs usually sit higher because there's more steel to recover. Prices depend on current scrap metal rates, and we quote using the rate on the day you call.
What sets the price
- Weight on the scale
- The heavier the car, the more metal it gives the recycler, and the more we pay.
- Market rates
- Steel and aluminum prices change through the year, so offers do too.
- Converter and precious metals
- An original catalytic converter carries real value of its own.
- Salvageable parts
- Working engines, transmissions, alternators and starters can be resold.
- Wheels
- Alloy rims and tires with tread left add to the total.
- Completeness
- Cars missing major parts weigh less and bring less, but still sell.
- Sedan, coupe or hatchback
- from $300
- SUV or minivan
- from $500
- Pickup truck
- from $500
- Running used car
- up to $10,000
Prices depend on current scrap metal rates and change from month to month.
How to get the most for your car
- Keep the car complete; missing parts lower the scrap price.
- If the converter was stolen, tell us so the quote is accurate.
- Ask us to compare the scrap price with a used-car offer if it still runs.
Getting your car ready for scrap in Stoney Creek
Here's the short list before pickup day.
Find the ownership
You'll need the ownership (vehicle permit) in your name and matching photo ID. If the permit has gone missing, call us before ordering a replacement from ServiceOntario; we'll tell you what you need. Read more about selling without ownership.
Remove the plates
Ontario licence plates belong to the owner, not the car. Take them off before the tow, then keep them for your next vehicle or return them to ServiceOntario. Returning them doesn't earn a refund. See plates when selling for details.
Sort out any loan
A car with money owing on it can only be scrapped after the loan is paid off or the lien is disclosed. Call us first; we'll explain how that works and what the lender will need before we book a truck.
Empty it out
Check the glovebox, door pockets, trunk and spare-tire well. Remove garage openers, parking passes and any papers with your name on them. Leave the fluids, battery and catalytic converter in place, since removing them only lowers your price.
Clear the path
Move bins, bikes and other vehicles out of the way. In upper Stoney Creek townhouse complexes, check whether the truck can stop in a visitor spot. On rural properties, tell us if the lane turns soft after rain.
How scrap car removal in Stoney Creek works
Four steps from quote to recycling.
-
Step 1: Quote
Call (289) 349-2006 or send the form with the year, make, model and condition. Mention anything missing, from wheels to the catalytic converter. You'll have a firm scrap price in about 3 minutes, worked out from weight, parts and today's metal rates.
-
Step 2: Book
Choose a time that suits you. Same-day scrap pickup in Stoney Creek is usually possible when you call before noon, and next-day is easy otherwise. We'll confirm the window and call when the truck is close.
-
Step 3: Pickup and payment
The driver checks the car, you sign the bill of sale, and you're paid in cash on the spot. A car that won't start, roll or steer is loaded with a winch or wheel-lift, so its condition doesn't matter.
-
Step 4: Recycling
The car is delivered to a licensed Ontario recycler. Fluids are drained, parts are recovered, and the shell is crushed so the metal can be reused. Your part is done once the car leaves; just call your insurer.

Where scrap cars usually sit
In the older streets around downtown Stoney Creek and Battlefield, scrap cars are often tucked in a detached garage or a narrow side drive. Up top, they're more likely in a townhouse driveway with little room to manoeuvre. Out along Highway 20 and in Tapleytown, think barns, sheds and gravel lanes.
A quick photo of where the car sits helps us choose the right truck. Mention gates, low branches or soft ground when you call.
Near the Grimsby or Hamilton border? We cover those too, so call and ask. (289) 349-2006
Free towing anywhere in Stoney Creek. Based in Burlington.
What happens after your scrap car leaves Stoney Creek
Your car doesn't sit in a field or get dumped. It goes to a licensed Ontario recycler that processes end-of-life vehicles properly. Fluids are drained and captured first, then the battery, catalytic converter and tires are removed. Usable parts go back into circulation, and the remaining shell is flattened and shredded so the steel and aluminum can be melted down.
Around 75–80% of a typical vehicle by weight can be recycled, which keeps waste out of landfills and fluids away from the creeks that drain to the lake. Learn more on our auto recycling page.
Scrap car removal in Stoney Creek: FAQs
Still have a question? Call (289) 349-2006 and ask a real person.
What's the least you'll pay for a scrap car in Stoney Creek?
Our minimums are $300 for sedans, coupes and hatchbacks, $500 for SUVs and minivans, and $500 for pickup trucks. Prices depend on current scrap metal rates, and many cars bring more than the minimum, especially heavier ones.
Do you charge for towing or disposal?
No. Towing, loading and disposal are all free. The price we quote is the money you get, with nothing taken off for distance, even if you're out near Vinemount or along the lake at Fifty Point.
Can you scrap a car that's missing its catalytic converter?
Yes. Converter theft is common, and a car without one can still be scrapped. The offer will be lower because the converter holds precious metals, so tell us up front and we'll price it accurately.
How do I scrap a car that's been sitting for years?
Just call. Flat tires, seized brakes and a dead battery are expected with a car that's been parked a long time. Our trucks can winch it onto the bed. You'll need the ownership and ID, and the car needs to be reachable.
Do I get a receipt when you scrap my car?
Yes. You and the driver both sign a bill of sale, and you keep a copy. It shows the date and time the car changed hands, which is useful when you cancel your insurance or answer any later questions.
What happens to the fluids in my car?
They're drained and captured at the licensed recycler, not dumped. Used oil can be re-refined, and coolant and refrigerant are handled under environmental rules. That's why we ask you to leave them in the car rather than draining them yourself.
Will you pick up a scrap car in winter?
Yes, all year round during our hours, Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.. Dig out a path to the car and brush the snow off the wheels if you can. When escarpment roads turn icy, we may suggest a later slot that day for safety.
Do you buy scrap trucks and vans?
Yes, and they usually pay more than cars. Pickups, cargo vans and large SUVs carry extra steel, so their scrap value is higher. Our minimum for pickups is $500. See our cash for trucks service for more.
